Time for cake!

Today we get to celebrate Jared 40th birthday! Eli woke up just before Daddy had to leave for work. Adam was camped out on the floor in our room where he often ends up during the night. I made pancakes for breakfast and we ate by the candles at the table. After taking the boys to school Eli and I headed to Tim Hortons for drinks and donuts. Then we took a Mocha and donuts to Daddy at his work. We stopped at the store for a few things before heading home. I did my exercises and Eli played in the boxes. Jared got home from work around 2pm. My parents gave him a rc helicopter for his birthday and he hurried to get that charging. Then he opened a beautiful raku snowy owl from his parents. He got some good laughs from their funny cards. Eli took a nap. Jared and I gave each other our Valentines gifts. Jared wrote me a sweet poem in the card he'd made for me. He had knitted me some slippers and also got me some rubbermade storage containers. Eli wanted to hide with Daddy under a blanket as they sat on the bean bag chair. He thought it was so funny every time I came to find them. Daddy went down to get the boys off the bus. They were excited to show us all their valentine cards and goodies from class. Then they opened their valentines from us. They each got a some candy, gum, a spinbrush, and chapstick. They had fun decorating their spinbrush with the stickers that came with them. Then Jared opened his Birthday gifts from us. He some rope, a shepherd's crook, coveralls and a hat. We drove to Pi's to bring home Chinese food for dinner. We also stopped at Pizza Hut for Jacob's Personal pizza which he gets from school for reading. At home we put a pizza in the oven. We watched 101 Dalmations while eating dinner. After dinner we lit the candles on the cake and sang to Daddy. Jacob wanted to do "a toast" to Daddy with their pops bottles. After the boys were in bed Jared and I watched I Love Lucy.

Jacob started his ceramics class tonight. I was telling Daddy that he loved it and Jacob said, "No I didn't love it. I love, love, loved it!!" He asked me if I knew what water was to clay and said, "It makes it smooth and its like clay glue." Jacob made three things from clay which will be fired this week. At their next class he will add a glaze.

Adam loves to play with "the babies"

This afternoon I went with my Mom and sisters to Stacey's baby shower. She is close family friend who is adopting a little boy who is due any day now. The boys were excited to spend the day with Daddy and have "boy time". My Mom treated us to coffees at Tim Hortons on our drive to the shower. After the shower Vikki, Kenzie, and I went grocery shopping. Then we headed back to Vikki's to unload her groceries and pick up the babies. Vikki took Peyton to Mel's house where she is spending the next two night and Isaac is coming home to stay with us. Then we picked up Mom and headed to Stacey's house to shave her cat. It took a few of us but we got her done. Got home around 10pm.

Eli hung out with me while I shoveled the driveway.


Nik came over and the boys had a great time playing in the snow. The boys continued playing outside after Nik went home.
